231. Penalty shootout
There is no suspense, the 90-minute regular season ended, and it turns out that both sides are 0:0.
"I don't want to play a penalty kick, but we may have a greater chance of winning the penalty kick. They fell on the penalty kick last year and have greater psychological pressure!"
"In the offense, you have to pass the backcourt to Edin, Sadio, your task is to be around Edin, between their full-back and central defender!"
"Edin, you are responsible for fighting against Dante. He has consumed a lot of energy. I think you have a way to find a breakthrough in him!"
"David and Ding Ding are the second tier of the offense. I need you to ensure that Edin can qualify when he catches the ball head-on, and let him give the ball to you!"
"Alexander and James, you can't suppress it anymore. I'm afraid you won't come back at all!"
"Since Victor and Moussa, the players have only one task to defend, and there is no problem with the midfield vacuum, but I ask you to shrink inside and outside the front of the penalty area. At this time, you must be careful not to give them a set piece opportunity easily!"
......
Wen Sheng took out the tactical board and kept explaining it. When he came to this part, he said that he was looking forward to scoring goals in overtime, but he was more working hard to win the penalty. He really believed that Bayern Munich was the more pressured side.
Heinx and Wensheng thought differently. He felt that his team was not afraid of penalty shootouts, and of course he hoped that the team could resolve the battle in overtime.
He originally wanted to use up the remaining two substitutions, but when it comes to this, no player wants to end. In private, Ribery and Robben both said that they are in good condition and do not need rest. Of course, they are not as relaxed as they say.
Ribery and Robben have a lot of activities in this game, and their performances can only be said to be able to pass the exam. They both actually have the ability to hit the spots. Even when facing intensive defense, they can create something different. However, Manchester City's defensive strategy today is too strict and they have good protection in the penalty area. They are also powerless. After all, breaking the bus is also a world-class problem.
Heinx only replaced Harvey Martinez with Gustavo. Like Wen Sheng, the two teams in overtime will definitely be more direct. The offense depends entirely on the front court, and the midfield and backcourt must focus on defense.
Rizzoli blew his whistle and both sides entered overtime after a short break.
Both teams played very cautiously. Neither side took high-pressures, but they would never let the opponents burn the war to their half. The midfield became the key area for their respective defenses. Manchester City felt that they still had to be better in the midfield. Every time they got the ball, they could still push the ball forward.
What fans did not expect was that Manchester City had an advantage in possession of the ball in the first half of overtime, while Bayern Munich had to retreat.
In the 95th minute, Manchester City completed the first overtime game.
Dembele made a straight pass to Dzeko. After Dzeko received the ball from behind, he made it to De Bruyne. De Bruyne dribbled the ball and broke through Alaba. Like Robben, after dodging a gap, he shot the outside instep. The angle of the ball was also very tricky. However, Neuer was indeed awesome. He moved very fast and had excellent bounce ability. He flew and touched the ball out of the bottom line with his fingertips.
The fans hugged their heads and regretted it, while De Bruyne muttered something, obviously extremely upset.
By the way, if the ball is replaced by Navas, it will probably be a disaster. Navas is not tall enough.
After this threat, Bayern Munich changed its defensive strategy again, and Gomez and the others started pressing in the frontcourt again, but it was still a tragedy.
Less than 5 minutes later, Van Dijk from Manchester City launched a long pass from the backcourt and accurately hit Ram. The young player Sane was on the court, with great explosive power and successfully counter-offside and only killed the penalty area. Neuer attacked in advance, and he thrilled to resolve Sane's single shot.
Countless Manchester City fans on the Internet instantly petrified and then vented the ventricular curse of Mane.
So what if you scold me? A good goalkeeper can sometimes really match the top half of the team. Neuer is undoubtedly such a person, with very strong abilities.
Manchester City threatened one after another, while Bayern Munich was obviously not able to do it.
Robben had a very exciting outing in the 103rd minute. When Gustavo passed the ball directly to him, he deliberately missed it and scored the ball around the ball. Kolarov was like a wooden stake by him, but when he cut inside, he was obviously a little weak. Savage was in time to prevent the ball from falling to the ground and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
The pace of overtime was not fast in the first half, Manchester City only completed three shots, and Bayern Munich did not have one shot.
During the short rest period, Wen Sheng guided Sane to run, and he asked Sane to intersperse the ribs.
The second half begins.
Bayern Munich pays more attention to defense. After intercepting the ball in the backcourt, they did not make too many adjustments and directly looked for Gomez Muller with big feet. Muller is no longer a midfielder, but a forward.
The tactic of double ghosts slamming really caused trouble for Manchester City. They scored a goal in the 107th minute, Ribery passed the ball, Robben made a cross from the ribs, and Muller pushed the ball into the empty goal from the middle.
The moment Mueller scored, Wen Sheng's heart was cold, but Rizzoli's whistle sounded like a fairy voice in his ears, and the linebacker signaled Robben to offside.
Bayern Munich players were dissatisfied and surrounded Rizzoli and the lineman, but at this moment, they had nothing to do except claiming a yellow card for themselves.
There is no problem with this penalty itself. When Ribery passed the ball in the slow motion, Robben started early and should be about 1 meter offside.
"This is really going to play a penalty!" said Director Zhang.
"The two sides have done their best!" He Wei said.
I did my best, and neither of the two teams seemed to have any good chances. Thirty minutes of overtime ended with Rizzoli's whistle. The second consecutive year of Champions League finals must be decided by a penalty kick.
As for penalty kicks, Manchester City also did this kind of training, but not much. Wensheng asked the players about the situation and then determined the penalty kicks, which were De Bruyne, Milner, Silva, Van Dijk, and Dzeko.
If the winner cannot be decided in five rounds, the next one will be Kolarov, Navas, Dembele, Savage, and Mane.
Both sides guessed that the side would be fined first, Manchester City took the penalty first, and Neuer defended first.
De Bruyne's mental quality is very strong. He set a stop at the penalty spot and assisted the ball. De Bruyne pulled the ball into the middle and upper position.
Neuer obviously guessed the wrong direction and he rushed to the left.
Bayern Munich's first appearance was captain Ram. He was also the first player to take the penalty when he played against Chelsea last season. At that time, he sent the penalty to the upper right side. Cech judged the right direction. Unfortunately, Ram's shot was very fast, and Cech reacted a little slowly and could not save it.
In fact, the penalty shootout is not only about luck, but also about wits and courage.
Navas thought Ram would still be punished on the right side, so he moved ahead of time. However, Ram was very devilish and actually had a pause in the middle. Navas was fooled, and Ram easily sent the ball into the lower left side.
Chapter completed!
